SKF SALA TXE-2LS rod ends are radial spherical rod ends with a male threaded shank and a double seal. They suit pivot points that need oscillating movement and the ability to absorb misalignment, such as hydraulic cylinders, steering linkages, suspension and transmission mechanisms. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line within its bearings and power transmission range.
Reading the code helps you order the right reference. SALA identifies a radial rod end with male thread. The figure that follows is the bore diameter in millimeters, so SALA 50 TXE-2LS has a 50 mm bore. TXE covers the design with a steel cage and surface treatment, and the -2LS suffix means contact lip seals on both sides, which keeps dust and moisture out of the bearing area.
Typical mounting points include hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, steering arms, suspension linkages, road machinery, agricultural implements and conveyors. These are environments with dust, mud and vibration, where a pivot has to self-adjust and run with low friction while carrying combined radial and axial loads.
Selection comes down to four things: bore diameter, shank thread type, the radial and axial load the joint will see, and the surrounding conditions. The -2LS seal handles moderate contamination well. Where liquids or abrasive dust are present, consider extra protection. Fit the rod end in correct alignment and avoid impact during mounting. These models are lubricated for life, which keeps maintenance simple, though severe duty may call for relubrication.
SKF SALA TXE-2LS rod ends interchange with equivalents from other makers that use the same dimensional nomenclature. When cross-referencing, compare bore diameter, thread, width and misalignment angle. Confirm the full code before swapping a component so the fit is right.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the -2LS suffix mean on an SKF rod end?
- It means the rod end carries contact lip seals on both sides. That double seal blocks dust, water and other contaminants from reaching the bearing area, which matters in dirty or damp industrial settings.
- How do I pick the correct SKF SALA TXE-2LS rod end?
- Check the bore diameter, the shank thread type, the radial and axial loads, and where the part will work. The -2LS seal fits moderate contamination. If you are unsure, send the code or your measurements to our team and we will help you confirm it.
- Can SKF SALA TXE-2LS rod ends replace other brands?
- They can be used in place of other brands that share the same critical dimensions: bore diameter, thread, width and misalignment angle. Verify the complete code and specifications before replacing, and ask us if you need help checking compatibility.
